A Small Plus To The Carbon Tax

If it isn't obvious enough, Hazelwood power station is most likely going to be replaced with a big combined cycle natural gas power plant, with a few
wind turbines sprinkled on top for some greenwash. This is still unacceptable to the climate and arguably unacceptable to national security (given the
price volatility of gas).

Before implementing a carbon tax we need to look at all viable solutions that have a history of reliable, cheap, carbon free power.

But that won't happen.

Because we would rather heavily subsidize the most expensive, useless, politically correct forms of power (solar) while in reality mostly building new
gas infrastructure with a little bit of wind turbines sprinkled on top.

The energy policy of this country is a joke, probably because the opinion of the public on the subject is also a joke.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the
most prosperous in the world.. We had absolutely no national debt, had a
large middle class, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the "Hell" happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'

I hope this goes around Australia at least 100 times!!!!! YOU can help it
get there!!!!
i can add one more tax, i shall call it the Material Tax, its about the amount of Material that goes around Gillards Arse, Surely we can have a
Curtain Tax on such a high amount.

Just as you do, I also believe clean food,air and water is important. But so too is money. I don't know about you, but I can't survive on love
alone. The dole check will only get you so far.

I feel sorry for you. You seem to not realize that short term financial gains in a system that is destined to collapse are not gains at all. You
appear more than willing to accept trading clean water air and food for money, and seem to think your only options in life are working a terrible job
or collecting welfare. That's too bad, but more motivated and principled people recognize there are far more alternatives than your tiny limited
options you present.

Have fun eating and breathing your money. When your grandchildren ask you why you chose to #Snip# where you sleep, you can explain how you just HAD to
buy a flatscreen teevee.

OZ weather man I agree with the Australian government don't have a clue of what they are doing to Manufacturing Industrial units that do exist. I
wonder why our people voted for this goobbement.

Between good to see a Eagles Suppporter

Chadwickus " Can you please tell me how the gobbement plans to use this money to find better solutions other than compensating people for the money
paid". I don't have a clue thats the reason I am asking. A needy thread ..,
